Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3564770A1] The invention refers to a deployable docking station coupleable to a mobile robot to provide support services to the mobile robot and to selectively move in tandem with the mobile robot, the mobile robot being of the type that is capable of traversing a surface, the deployable docking station comprising: a housing; an anchor connected to the housing, wherein the deployable docking station is configured to selectively engage and disengage with the surface via the anchor; a coupling connected to the housing and configured to selectively connect and disconnect with the mobile robot, wherein when the anchor is engaged with the surface, the coupling is disconnected from the mobile robot, and when the anchor is disengaged with the surface, the coupling is connected to the mobile robot; and a sensor connected to the housing and configured to verify engagement of the anchor with the surface and connection of the coupling with the mobile robot, wherein confirmation by the sensor of engagement of the anchor with the surface is required before the coupling is configured to disconnect from the mobile robot.
